[Game] [PS3] Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru ~Nocturne of Truth and Illusions~

[Klashikari]

Umineko pack? The c81? No it wouldn't since alchemist isn't part of this.

I'm quite cautious at the mention of "artbook", since it would make really meaningless if it is a collection of the game CG. And so far, the promotional CG for Umineko PS3 aren't exactly good looking, and a good deal of them are over the top, almost the likes of those used for Eroge.

Nooo.
It's a set of the first and the second PS3 games.

Yeah, no! that's like the best part! I want more Erika on a leash!

But I don't know really what's going to be inside. The description on cdjapan says

Includes visual book A4 size (more than 100 pages) with game graphic, character setting, illustrations etc.

Also, apparently there's going to be different cover for the limited edition ; )

I meant Umineko set, not pack, sorry. It contains Rondo and Nocturne together at just a little over the price of one game. Here: http://umine.co/chiru/products/set/

Did you confuse what I said to the upcoming Higanbana 2/OMK CROSS/Hane -set from 07th Expansion? Yeah, I know Alchemist isn't involved and won't include an artbook.

Well, I agree that an artbook with the promotional NSFW or such pics wouldn't be what I'm interested in. They are indeed not very good quality. But I was thinking that it'd contain actual game CGs and stuff. They would be nice to flip through in a big artbook. Meaningless in a way, as you say, because they're in-game already (do the PS3 games have a CG gallery?), but just to flip through.

Not getting it isn't exactly an obstacle of purchase (like not owning a PS3 is), but extras like that are fun.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Ayane. Well well well, an alternate cover! I thought it was just the cover of the artbook. Nice to see it complete. Though it's not actually that impressive if that's the final product. -__-

[~Ayane~]

Yeah, I think so too, and probably it is something like final, since it also showed up on amazon.jp like this BUT i bet it's just the cover of the package and inside there will be game in a regular edition too.


Also, the hell is this?

That's the artbook. I'd like to have it too, but I don't have a PS3. And it probably won't come with the Umineko pack, which I'd want because I don't have the first one either. *sigh*

thank, I don't speak japanese so I did not figure that out by the official page.

[Game Master Matt]

Anyone seen the new opening yet? It's awesome.

O.o looks to me like one of those inflatable things you punch and it returns to its upright position. Would make sense... pushing down Cornelia and her standing right back up

Just to double check, the one listed at Amiami is the same as the one at CDJapan (both games+artbook), just cheaper at the former, right?

Nonono, the set (Rondo+Nocturne) is entirely different thing, the limited edition only contains the game + the artbook, there is no option of two games+ artbook.

The LE on amiami is still about 1000 yen cheaper though

unless you want the version with the bookstore card, lol

Ahhh okay, misread then xD. Guess I'll be holding onto my copy of Rondo and pick up the LE.

[GAtakito]

New info about the game... but it's in jap.

Spoiler for fav fap:

[Klashikari]

Nothing really special: announcement of the 100 pages Artbook (A4 format), with stuff such like character sheets etc.
Also the announcement of their Umineko and Umineko PS3 set.

Finally, they also mention a PV, as well as a a PS3 theme for Erika and Will.

So only the LE contains the artbook?

Well, yeah. It's the special thing for this edition after all.

[Sterling01]

I ordered from AmiAmi, but I wonder if the Tosho card will cause problems at US customs.

What is a Tosho card?

A library card, probably. Coming from the Japanese word Toshokan for library. The order bonus for some stores to come with the game is a library card, and most seem to be NSFW. I guess they don't need to show the cards to a clerk in Japan like we do.

as long as its not kiddie porn us customs doesn't care.
also they're not going to open your package anyway unless its suspicious for other reasons.
for something as mundane as a stupid video game, they're just going to x-ray it to make sure there's not a bomb in the damn thing.

[Leo_Otaku]

so lemme get this straight the Limited Edition (not with phone card) comes with an art book?
